Now that the weather is much warmer, Shen Heng didn't ride his bicycle anymore; instead, he strolled home with Bai Jiaojiao.
"I have to go on a business trip with my teacher the day after tomorrow, and I might not be back for a few days."
"Why are you leaving again?"
"There's a meeting, and they want me to come along. It's not actually that far, but they won't let me leave during the meeting."
Shen Heng's words made Bai Jiaojiao look up at him: "Is it really that important?"
Shen Heng nodded.
Bai Jiaojiao thought that new policies would be implemented at the end of this year, and the economic system would undergo a complete transformation.
"Your teacher actually brought you to this kind of meeting?"
It's no wonder Bai Jiaojiao was surprised; Shen Heng was, after all, a freshman in college.
"What's wrong? Did I shorten my lifespan just by becoming a follower?" Shen Heng pinched Bai Jiaojiao's nape.
Bai Jiaojiao laughed and dodged away: "No, I just think your teacher has a really discerning eye."
It must be said that none of the teachers who can teach at Yenching University are ordinary people, whether in terms of ability or vision.
Once the year-end conference is held, economics students will immediately become highly sought-after industry leaders, and whether they go into politics or business, they will be able to seize the earliest opportunities.
Shen Heng didn't care whether Bai Jiaojiao meant it sincerely or was just teasing him; he was secretly delighted: "Of course, our teacher Jian wishes she could tie me to her waistband."
"......"
If you tie a grown man like yourself to a belt, how can you even pull up your pants?
Bai Jiaojiao thought to herself.
Shen Heng had to go to a meeting, and Bai Jiaojiao didn't move back to her dormitory. However, although Gao Peifu had been arrested, the court hearing notice hadn't been issued yet.
Bai Jiaojiao counted down the days in her mind, planning to go to the police station to inquire about the situation as soon as the deadline arrived.
Shen Heng was away on a business trip for two days. When he returned, he told Bai Jiaojiao that things might be about to change.
The print media began to extensively publicize the conference's major discussion on the issue of truth, and the radio also kept broadcasting the event.
"Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth."
"I thought Teacher Jian wanted me to go and serve tea and water. I didn't expect it to actually be something. I've always thought that this kind of collective can't last long. Judging from the current attitude of the higher-ups, it won't be long before it's shut down. People can only work hard when they work for themselves."
After this meeting, Shen Heng thought a lot about things, and Professor Jian Shao also subtly discussed future economic issues with him.
Since marrying Bai Jiaojiao, Shen Heng's biggest wish has been to make a lot of money. He buys Bai Jiaojiao whatever she wants. If he could really get his personal servants to work hard, Shen Heng feels that he is no less than others, especially since he was dragged into such a good university by Bai Jiaojiao.
He was secretly eager to try, and Jian Shao would gradually give him some extra lessons, telling him about things in foreign capitalist countries.
Bai Jiaojiao was busy preparing for her midterm exams when she received a court summons as soon as she got home from the exam hall.
"I refuse to believe that he can escape after being prosecuted."
Gao Peifu is currently being held in the procuratorate, so even if his brother-in-law has a long reach, he can't get in.
Clearly, they've reached their limit by dragging this out until now.
During the month they waited, they were summoned by the procuratorate several times. Gao Peifu told the procuratorate that Shen Heng had broken into their house late at night and smashed the window, but Shen Heng did it cleanly and denied it outright, so Gao Peifu's accusations were useless.
Gao Peifu's neighbors, as well as the long-time residents near the Gao family's old house, already harbored resentment towards Gao Peifu's past actions. Seeing that he had been sent to the procuratorate, they were all eager to kick him while he was down.
Gao Peifu's younger sister, who sold the house to Bai Jiaojiao, was even more furious with her brother, wanting to beat him to a pulp. When the prosecutors went to her house, they described Gao Peifu as having committed countless misdeeds.
When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. People who had been bullied by Gao Peifu in the past also volunteered to testify. In the end, after Gao Peifu's case was over, his brother-in-law was also placed under investigation.
That's exactly the effect everyone wants. Otherwise, if this person holds a grudge, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause them later?
With the support of influential and highly educated individuals like Xiang Anqi, the court immediately ruled it a case of burglary.
The current sentencing is very severe. In the past, if someone stripped naked and went to bathe in the river, they would be sentenced to death for hooliganism. Although things are much better now than they were then, the judge still wrote down the sentence for multiple crimes and sentenced Gao Peifu to life imprisonment.
This verdict was absolutely gratifying; Xiang Anqi's wrinkles even smoothed out.
Bai Jiaojiao came to hand in her homework again and saw Xiang Anqi chatting with his colleagues in the office, talking about Gao Peifu.
"So we still have to trust the country. When something like this happens, we can't be afraid... Jiaojiao, you're here."
Upon seeing Bai Jiaojiao, Xiang Anqi smiled and waved to her, "Come on, have an apple."
Xiang Anqi especially loves apples. When it's cold, they have a stove in their office, and Xiang Anqi will cut up apples and roast them. Bai Jiaojiao was lucky enough to try it once, but she really couldn't understand it.
"Teacher, this is my homework."
"Put it there," Xiang Anqi picked out the prettiest-looking apple for Bai Jiaojiao. "I won't assign you any homework these next two days, but I want to give you a rather challenging task."
"What arduous task?"
Bai Jiaojiao looked at Xiang Anqi with a hint of excitement.
Xiang Anqi said, "Our country's aid policy for Pakistan has now been implemented in various industries. Your institute said that a study team will be coming from there next month. Could you be the translator for them?"
"Do you want me to learn another foreign language?" In just one month?
"No, no, no, their English is much better than ours. If you want to learn Pali, you can look into it yourself. Your department needs someone to act as a receptionist, to take care of their daily lives. It's a tough job, but if you do it well, you'll make a name for yourself in your department. If you medical students want to develop well, you definitely need to be under a good mentor. It may not be that time yet, but if you can get noticed by senior professors in your department as soon as possible, it will definitely help you when choosing a professor for your future research projects."
This job is tough, but it has many benefits. The students in the School of Foreign Languages are also eyeing it with envy. Xiang Anqi is biased and gives Bai Jiaojiao preferential treatment.
Xiang Anqi was wholeheartedly thinking about Bai Jiaojiao's future. There was a shortage of people who could speak foreign languages everywhere. Although most of the old professors in the institute had studied abroad, due to the policy issues of those years, the students knew nothing about English. Who wouldn't want a little apprentice who could speak a foreign language?
"Your teacher is so generous. If it were me, I'd be upset if you asked another teacher," said a colleague in Xiang Anqi's office.
